Handmade in focus
Mastering one's craft is an important aspect within all art and culture fields. Nordic Culture Fund explored the theme with a special support program in 2016 - 2018.
Between 2016 - 2018 the Fund supported Handmade-projects with 7.700.000 DKK. The fund established new networks and inspired new collaborations by partnering with Nordic art support organizations, Arctic Arts Summit 2019 and The Nordic Museum in Seattle.
